OpenMind Magazine took form in March to address science controversies and deceptions. Their stories address how people “misperceive or don’t perceive important science issues in the world,” says co-founder Corey S. Powell. “Our canvas is things that are misreported or misunderstood in popular culture, on science issues that matter. This is the magazine that sets things straight.”(Nieman Lab, April 13, 2022, by Shraddha Chakradhar)
The magazine aims to help readers discern fake scientific news and will cover cognitive manipulation and conspiracy theories. The climate crisis and pandemic make it urgent to confront ways science can be twisted with harmful consequences for the public. (Yahoo!, April 19, 2022, by Caroline Drzewinski)
